Weavers Park will host Thursday’s football game between Drogheda and Shelbourne, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the 2024 Premier Division campaign. The Drogs are fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation to the Irish second tier, while the Reds are after their first league title since 2006. As Drogheda experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Derry City, home win should not be considered.

To make things even worse for the home side, Haiti forward Frantz Pierrot serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. The league leaders, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and given their fine display in a 2-0 victory over Galway, we are tempted to bet on the title hopefuls. The good news for the visitors is that midfielder Mark Coyle is back from suspension.
